closed

The objective of the Second Secondary and Local Roads Project (SLRP II) for Georgia is to improve local connectivity and travel time for selected secondary and local roads, and to strengthen the capacity of the Roads Department (RD) to manage the road network. There are two components to the project, the first component being rehabilitation and improvement of selected secondary and local roads. This component will rehabilitate and improve various secondary and local roads throughout the country. The Government has identified 19 road sections with a total length of about 225 km, as listed in annex two, for the first two years of project implementation. The first year program will include at least six road sections, with a total length of about 61 km, for which designs have been completed. Selection of the firms to design the planned rehabilitation under the second year program is also well advanced. Finally, the second component is the institutional strengthening and project management. This component will finance the provision of goods, consultants' services, and training aimed at strengthening the capacity of RD and Foreign Project Unit (FPU) in: (a) project management and implementation; (b) identifying, developing and implementing road safety measures on secondary and local roads; and (c) carrying out impact evaluations.
